    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: This study performed an analytical validation study of the Mindray high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay addressing limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), precision, linearity, analytical specificity and sex-specific 99th percentile upper reference limits. METHODS: LoB, LoD, precision, linearity and analytical specificity were studied according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. We used one reagent lot and one CL1200i analyzer. Skeletal troponin I and T, cardiac troponin T, troponin C, actin, tropomyosin, myosin light chain, myoglobin and creatine kinase (CK-MB) were studied for cross-reactivity. Interference with biotin was examined. Lithium heparin samples (one freeze thaw cycle) from healthy males and females were measured to determine the 99th percentiles by using the non-parametric method. Analyses were performed before and after excluding subjects with clinical conditions and/or increased surrogate biomarkers. RESULTS: The Mindray hs-cTnI assay met criteria to be considered as a hs-cTn assay. LoB and LoD was <0.1 ng/L and 0.1 ng/L, respectively. Repeatability had a coefficient of variation 1.2-3.8 %, and within-laboratory imprecision 1.7-5.0 %. The measuring interval ranged from 1.1 to 28,180 ng/L. The analytical specificity was clinically acceptable for the interferents studied. After exclusions, the 99th percentile URLs obtained were 10 ng/L overall, 5 ng/L for females and 12 ng/L for males. CONCLUSIONS: Analytical observations of the Mindray hs-cTnI assay demonstrated excellent LoB, LoD, precision, linearity and analytical specificity, that were in alignment with the manufacturer's claims and regulatory guidelines for hs-cTnI. The assay is suitable for clinical investigation for patient-oriented studies.
